Why Dog Urine Stains Carpet
Dog urine contains urea, uric acid, and salts that penetrate carpet fibers and backing. As moisture evaporates, uric acid crystals remain and bond to carpet fibers, creating stubborn stains and persistent odors.
How to Remove Dog Urine Stains
Blot fresh urine immediately with paper towels, then apply an enzymatic cleaner designed for pet stains. Enzymes break down uric acid crystals, helping lift both the stain and odor from deep within the carpet pile.
Preventing Future Stains and Odors
Train your dog to eliminate in a specific area, and clean accidents quickly to reduce absorption. For recurring issues, consider waterproof carpet protectors or professional cleaning.
